Bharti Airtel’s AI-powered system has identified 157 million potential spam calls and three million such text messages in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh within 18 days of its launch, the telecom company said.

Developed in-house by Airtel’s data scientists, the AI-powered solution uses a proprietary algorithm to identify and classify calls and SMS as ‘suspected spam’.

By cross-referencing this information against known spam patterns, the system flags suspected spam calls and SMSes accurately.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
